Early Childhood Music Classes (Ages 6 Months–6 Years)

Our Baby Music program offers a gentle, nurturing, multi-sensory experience designed especially for infants and young toddlers. Each weekly class uses:

• Props, puppets, and costumes
• Percussion instruments
• Singing, rhythm, and movement
• Visual and tactile sensory play

These classes help support early brain development, listening skills, bonding, and motor coordination, while giving parents meaningful ways to connect through music.

Our Toddler Music program supports language development, memory, rhythm, and social interaction, making it ideal for toddlers ready to explore and express themselves. Throughout the year, children are exposed to four key learning areas:

• Key Sign Language – supporting early communication
• Multicultural Languages – encouraging cultural awareness and listening skills
• Solfège (Do–Sol) Singing Method – developing pitch recognition
• Spatial Awareness – movement-based activities that build coordination

Our Pre School Music program is designed for curious young learners who are ready to engage more deeply through music, movement, and imaginative play. These classes support early musicianship, coordination, confidence, and creative expression. Throughout the year, children explore four key learning areas:

• Rhythm & Beat Awareness – developing steady pulse and timing through movement and percussion
• Pitch & Melody Exploration – echo songs and singing games that build listening and vocal confidence
• Whole-Body Movement – activities that encourage balance, coordination, and cross-midline movement
• Creative Independence – playful challenges that nurture focus, decision-making, and self-expression
• Chime bells Learning – every four weeks, children learn to play a simple melody or children’s rhyme on chime bells (a small xylophone-style instrument)

Our Tiny Finger Early Music Program is specially designed for preschoolers who are ready to explore music more independently while still learning through play. These weekly classes blend movement, singing, rhythm, and beginner piano skills in a nurturing small-group environment.

Each class includes:

• Body percussion & rhythm games – clapping, stomping, and movement to internalise beats
• Percussion instruments – hands-on sound exploration and rhythmic patterns
• Singing with solfège (Do–Re–Mi) – developing pitch recognition and early music literacy
• Pre-piano & keyboard activities – finger strength, coordination, and note awareness
• Group music-making – listening, turn-taking, and collaborative learning
• Basic Music Theory – understanding music score,  note values and composite rhythms

This program supports fine motor development, auditory discrimination, early music reading, and creativity, while building confidence and a lifelong love of music.

Our Foundation Keyboard & Piano Group Classes are ideal for children who are ready to develop solid piano technique while enjoying the motivation and joy of learning with peers. These structured yet engaging classes combine keyboard skills, music theory, ear training, and ensemble playing.

Throughout the term, students experience:

• Score reading & rhythm games – fun, accessible music theory and sight-reading
• Ear training & singing – improve pitch accuracy and musical sensitivity
• Posture & technique – healthy hand position and expressive playing
• Collaborative & rotational performance – confidence-building group performance
• Musical expression – dynamics, phrasing, and musical structure

Classes are kept small (4–5 students) to ensure individual attention, encouragement, and steady progress in a positive group setting.

Teaching materials are based on Alfred’s Basic Piano Course Levels 1A and 1B, providing a well-structured foundation in piano technique, reading, and musicianship. This program provides a clear pathway to AMEB Preliminary and prepares students for further examinations under the AMEB syllabus.

In addition to mastering the instrument itself, students delve deeper into Chinese culture and gain insights into the nuances of Chinese music, including its modes and stylistic interpretations, as well as other aspects of music theory. Here are some advantages our Guzheng group lessons offer compared to one-on-one classes:

• Affordable rates
